Slips, trips and falls on hazardous walking surfaces continue to make up most on-the-job accidents. Help employees identify the hazards of walking surfaces to prevent accidents with this microlearning course. It’s easy to take the surfaces we walk and work on for granted, but that would be a big mistake. We depend on these surfaces to provide the support we need to position ourselves properly, use our muscles efficiently, keep our balance and do our work safely. Most of these accidents could have been prevented by following the tips in this course. Topics covered: the fundamentals of safe surfaces, walkways and floors, stairs and fixed ladders, scaffolding, and more.
